Did you crawl under and look for a drain on the lower left or right of the radiator facing towards the engine?

I wouldn't try the drain cock on the radiator simply because I've had them cheap plastic things break off...you can drain the coolant by just cutting off, no, don't cut the hose...remove the hose from the pump by loosening the clamp and it will drain almost perfectly into a bucket...you probably shouldn't have to replace the hose but it would be an excellent time to do so if you have a spare $25...that's how much the hose was (CDN)...
